In Japan today, there are heavy ion radiotherapy facilities at five locations.
All these facilities have conditions for when heavy ion radiotherapy is indicated: this therapy is not indicated for all types of cancer.
Even if a patient has a disease that meets these conditions, heavy ion radiotherapy may be considered to be inappropriate, depending on the patient's disease and state of health. The different facilities specify different indication conditions. For details, please contact the respective facilities or special clinics.
